Multiple devices in a device array

You can include files, pipes (UNIX only), and tape devices in a single array. Devices for the device array discusses factors that you should take into account when you decide what devices to assign to an array. If your array includes pipe commands, onpload starts the pipe when it begins execution.

When the High-Performance Loader (HPL) unloads data, it assigns records to the devices of a device array in a round-robin fashion.
